new grinder arrived

I did a little modifying on this, like NOT attaching the useless tamper where you press up, and also removing the finger gurard inside the doser to make it easy to clean.

I feel confident that I can remember not to stick my finger up the grind chute with the machine on.

knock on wood...

My grinder, love it.

I didn't put the tamper on either, and removed the finger guard as well, u should have no problems.

Unless you also stick your fingers inside a garbage disposal while it's on....

Res,

It doesn't seem all that hard, but have you taken off the hopper, ring, etc, and opened it up to the burrs?

I'm sure you have, and am sure I will, but for now, run rice through it once a week.

I know I don't have to tell you, but it's been emphasized to me a dozen times to NOT make any adjustments without the machine running.

There's also an interesting mod i saw where you can make the worm drive work like a swivel by removing two screws for easy large adjustments and easier cleaning, but am not sure if I am going there.

I can post a link to the procedure and it looks very easy. I just worry about the drive popping up while grinding, and also don't ever seem to turn more than a half turn at most depending on beans.
